The Man with the Highest IQ (250-300)

William James Sidis is considered the most brilliant person to have ever lived on our planet. His level of intelligence seemed to have no limits. This is truly a unique case in history.

- It may seem surprising, but at the age of 18 months, William was already fluently reading the New York Times.

- At the age of 6, he declared his atheism.

- Before reaching the age of 8, he wrote four books. His IQ was estimated to be between 250 and 300 (the highest recorded IQ in history).

- At the age of 11, William Sidis entered Harvard.

However, this was only possible on the second try. The problem was that the university did not want to accept the young genius at the age of 7, when his parents tried to arrange for him to study, citing his "emotional immaturity".

- Sidis knew about 40 languages ​​(according to other sources - 200) and freely translated from one to another.
